XPath 3.0, XQuery 3.0, and XSLT 3.0.  Some of the new features since 
XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Functions and Operators include:
<ul>
                              <li>More than 30 new functions have been added, including functions 
transferred from the XSLT 2.0 specification into Functions and 
Operators 3.0 and additional versions of existing functions with 
different signatures</li>

                              <li>The syntax for regular expressions was enhanced to allow for 
non-capturing groups; additionally, a new flag value was added for 
regular-expression-related functions that accept a flag argument</li>

                              <li>Support for function items has been added in the form of a number 
of new functions</li>

                              <li>The description of fn:error was rewritten to accommodate the 
addition of try/catch capabilities in XQuery 3.0</li>
